It was the same barbecue, but when they ate it again, it tasted even better. Everyone was full of confidence for the future.
Li Yi was still as calm as before. He was used to it.
It was just the job of a leader. When a group of people did not know what to do, someone had to stand up.
No matter what difficulties they faced, they had to remain calm.
They had to be able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them.
With a backbone, everyone would be able to combine their strength and be successful in every endeavor.
There were no people on Eight Zhang Island, and there were no animals. There were seabirds, but there was no lack of mosquitoes and flies. Where did the mosquitoes and flies come from? It was probably related to the storm and the birds.
At dawn, the boat lowered the kayaks. Everyone got on the island and wrapped themselves up tightly.
"Li Lang, are there any rats?" Princess Yongmu wore a veil to defend herself.
"If you want rats, you have to have a male and a female if the rats were washed over by the water.
Over the years, there have been tornadoes again and again. Theoretically, there should be snakes that were swept over.
Let's look around the island. The island is also a good place to anchor.
It's surrounded by active volcanoes that will erupt. Generally, no one is willing to live here. "
Li Yi was not very sure since it was his first time here.
What if he was wrong? If he was wrong, then so be it! After analyzing it again, who would dare to cut off his head?
Standing on the island was not comfortable at all. There was no sign of human habitation. Other than rocks, sand, grass, trees, vines, and other messy things, there was no enjoyment to be found at all.
The Winged Knights used the chainsaw and lawnmower that Li Yi had exchanged to open a path. Wherever they encountered grass, the rotary lawnmower would cut the grass at the roots with a buzzing sound.
When they encountered trees, the chainsaw would make a loud noise.
Four craftsmen carried manual pressurized spray bottles and sprayed medicine.
Li Yi wanted to open a path to a water source. There were medicines to kill insects and paraquat.
Some of the Winged Knights and craftsmen wore a full set of protective equipment in front. Li Yi was not in a hurry to leave.
He was more afraid of paraquat.
If he had just inhaled it, he could still do something about it. However, if he had taken a little longer … Sigh!
"Let's look at the waves on the beach. Let me tell you, sand is not suitable for making concrete. It contains salt …"
Li Yi tried to find something to talk about and casually shared some knowledge.
The palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly took out notebooks and brushes to record, not missing a single word.
"There's no need to remember it. I'll sort it out later. Do you remember this sentence too? Stop! "Li Yi shouted. Are you going to record my daily life?
"Dongzhu, I can't not remember." Taohong said with a bitter face. She also didn't want to remember.
When everyone was playing, once Li Yi spoke, he couldn't play anymore.
"I want to exchange for something that will automatically record everything, including sound and image. When I return, I'll cut it open and let many people stare at it, taking notes as they watch."
Li Yi thought of a good idea and recorded it.
As he spoke, he took out four sets of recording devices and taught everyone how to use them. He put one on himself and the other three chose the position and angle.
Taohong and the others revealed a bitter expression, as if saying, why didn't you take it out earlier?
"There are still too few people and craftsmen. The wood is still wet and it's not easy to break it into boards. The people who came later needed to spend their own time repairing the boats."
Li Yi saw a one-meter diameter tree fall, but he didn't feel any heartache. It wasn't his time.
In America now, two-meter diameter trees were very common. There were also the Southwest barbarians of the Tang dynasty. There were many trees.
Later, it was said that they were planting cash crops, rubber trees.
The country had already ordered that the trees that weren't dead were not allowed to be cut down to plant rubber trees.
The locals began to peel the bark. In their eyes, a thousand-year-old tree wouldn't earn them a single cent.
They forcefully killed the tree, cut it down, and planted rubber trees.
When it was time to extract rubber, the international price of rubber plummeted. The people who planted rubber complained that it wasn't worth much anymore and they couldn't survive.
Li Yi had never criticized the ordinary people there. He didn't say that they were bullied or disfigured.
Just look at the local provincial government's first and second in command, as well as Xiao Guo's case. The local government was rotten to the core.
The only thing Feng Yu could do was not to go. He didn't want to bring a bunch of bodyguards and wait for the local people to find fault with him. He also didn't want to publicize the local political corruption.
It was meaningless and a waste of time. Feng Yu knew that the environment there was like a cesspool. What's the obligation to dig for feces?
There was no need to care about the trees on the island now.
"That's right. We also need to import some tree species, such as black locust trees. We don't want the big cacti.
We need to collect the beautiful succulent plants and sell them at Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion.
Coupled with special advertising slogans, I believe that the rich women will be willing to buy them. "
Li Yi wanted more rich people, but he also felt that the rich should take out more money.
"Li Lang, is the succulent braised pork?" Princess Yongmu asked. She had eaten Spanish mackerel stuffed buns in the morning, and now she was hungry. Succulent?
"No. But some can be eaten. Some can be used as medicine, and some can be eaten. We have aloe vera. That can be used as a dish and medicine. "
Li Yi explained. Succulent and braised pork belonged to two different worlds.
"Can it be braised?" Princess Yongmu swallowed her saliva.
"There's nothing in the world that can't be braised, but not everything can be eaten. Can braised rocks be eaten? I can't bite it. "Li Yi tried to be tactful.
He couldn't dispel Princess Yongmu's enthusiasm to eat braised pork. The key was that braised pork was the most authentic braised pork.
It was a square inch of fatty meat that was bright red. Every bite would leave a mouthful of oil, but it wasn't greasy.
"It's just not useful?" Princess Yongmu felt regretful.
"It's the same as gemstones. The biggest function is to appreciate and show one's social status. A person's needs are not only to eat and drink, but also to gain respect … "
Li Yi talked to Princess Yongmu about a person's needs and the different ways to gain respect.
Rich people could gain respect from some people. Those people respected money.
Some people could also gain respect from others. Even if they didn't have money, those people respected the person's ability and contribution.
There was no right or wrong, or it could be said that everything was right.
Money, in fact, was a resource. In ancient times, it would be food.
Shouldn't a person who had a lot of food be respected? What? This person didn't distribute the food? Then get rid of him.
Therefore, Li Yi always thought that he would respect how much money a person had. It was impossible. That person didn't give him any money.
However, people who could help him earn money and increase the production of food for the people in his society should be respected.
Princess Yongmu thought for a while. "Glass is also very expensive. Glass can be used to bask in the sun, make greenhouses, binoculars, kerosene lamps, and thermos bottles."
"Yes, some gemstones also play a special role, but the demand is not high.
What about spiritual enjoyment? For example, you are the real Princess Yongmu now. What do you want? Is it the admiration of the people? "
Li Yi didn't deny any kind of value.
"No, I just want to follow you, Li Lang, and eat braised pork." Princess Yongmu shook her head slightly.
Li Yi: "…"
